Senior QA / Manufacturing Engineer

Added 1 month ago

Description

Build the processes, tooling, and quality infrastructure that takes Fleetzero hardware from bench builds to production-ready assembly lines.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will own the intersection of quality and manufacturing engineering for battery module and BMS assembly. That means developing and qualifying assembly processes, writing work instructions and inspection criteria, and driving continuous improvement across the line. You will define what 'good' looks like for every assembly step — from incoming piece part inspection through end-of-line functional test.

This is a hands-on role. You will be on the floor developing tooling, troubleshooting process escapes, and running experiments alongside the assembly team. The right person has a bias for building systems that make quality repeatable and visible, and does not wait to be told what to inspect.

USD 100,000 - 150,000 a year

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience with battery module or power electronics assembly processes
  • Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or marine industries where process rigor and traceability are required
  • Familiarity with IP67 or IP68 sealing processes and leak test methodologies
  • Six Sigma, APQP, PPAP, or similar structured quality methodologies
  • Experience using or programming electrical test equipment (even if not the primary owner of test development)
